The Polish Institutes is a network of cultural diplomatic missions reporting to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland.[1][2] As of 2025[update], there were 27 of them.[3] Their mission is described as "creating a positive image of Poland abroad" by promoting Polish culture, history, science, language, and national heritage.[4] Other tasks include supporting cultural exchange, in particular, within the framework of the European Union National Institutes for Culture, as well as implementation of various international cultural programmes.[4]
Polish Institutes cooperate with local institutions and NGOs in organizing various events.[4] The names may slightly differ in some countries. For example, in London and New York, the institute is called "Polish Cultural Institute".
